La Aldea Infantil San Miguel is now 28 years old, and to celebrate there has been many fiestas this week.
To start off there were disney characters, with dancing and games for the younger children one afternoon. It was a great way to spend the afternoon and the children had so much fun!
Then on Friday evening there was a lot of entertainment on, for all to watch, until the early hours of the morning.
Some Dancing from the Kids
Singing from some of the older ones
Tradional Colombian dancing from Tias and Kids
Some Hip Hop dancing from the Kids too
A Traditional Band from the University
Even a Belly Dancer!
With such a variety of entertaiment it was great fun to watch and spend time with everyone, the children had clearly spent ours learning songs and dance routines and it was fantastic! They should all be very very proud of themselves!
Then on Saturday a more traditional ceremony took place, with the children singing in the aldea church choir, a local priest coming in to give a practice and even some of the children were christened. It was lovely as many from outside the aldea came, including some potential parents to be (those thinking to adopt) and family of the children.
Ariel found it rather difficult missing nap time...
Later on lunch was served and dancing occured, it was great to become really involved with the day, dance with the children, tias and other members of staff too. We felt super welcomed and it was great to practice some of our spanish too!
El Pastel
Hannah Dancing
Peruvian Cerveza Tasting....Not too keen on the different cup sizes though!!!!
Overall the week has been a great way to celebrate the aldea and integrate with everyone, we even got a little shout out from the director in her speech!!
¡Viva La Fiesta!
